Have you ever....

Had a butterfly perch on you that refuses to budge?
I am undergoing some such thing right now.
Apparently a butterfly in all its yellow and black gaiety made its way into my house a couple of days ago.
Its been fluttering about our bedroom and I made my way in to finish up the book that I picked up yesterday "One life to ride", an account of a Motorcycle journey to the Himalayas.
And butterfly decides I am a good place to rest on. And refuses to move. And here I am angling myself in quite a weird fashion typing this out, since I got fed up trying to angle my book and my cup of tea.
I have to return to both as soon as I am done with this, but it is kinda weird to have a being of the animal kingdom settle on your for quite a length of time. I am going to clock this now. Maybe it will remain this way until I decide to get up and walk out.

Akkaa.. this comment is completely not connected with the topic of the post you've posted.. but i just peeped in to say that you've got an excellllllllent command over the English Language..

I should say that the fashion in which you express your thoughts is daaaamn good..i seriously have a feel of reading any Foreign author's text while reading most of your blog posts..Lady, you excel in almost all the aspects you like or adore(be it singing or anything..) if i'm not wrong..guess you like English as well much..

So many new words, phrases and idioms that i came into my recognition and knowledge from your writing.. i completely love the way you express things and your capability of making people who read this , be encompassed in the same environment as you were in while experiencing it!

I should say that it is only through your website thati came to know a lot about you..! this space showed me a super cool down-to-earth person whose presence anywhwere to the reach of me renders me happiness ..You are completely unique and adorable as a celebrity..LOve you always dear..!Take care!

Love

Hi Chinmayi,

When you take the time to retort to stupid anonymous comments, you could have atleast said "no", or guided me to the source playing your Sapthaswarangal contestent video. Remember, I requested it sometime back. I should say I did my bit of googling on it and could not find it. Hope you reply.

Thanks,
Deepa

deepa; thanks for reminding me that the comments are stupid and that I am indeed wasting time on them ... And honestly I dont have the video. I dont think i can source it either :)

Hi

The blog makes interesting read... by the range of issues covered.

On the animal kingdom, I read somewhere, that the original name of the butterfly was 'flutterby'
